The constitution provides for religious freedom. People should not be forced by judges to violate their faith. The constitution’s bill of rights trumps the judges who mistake themselves for dictators.
It is not a first ammendment issue. She can say and do what she wants. However, when it is the law of the land and you disobey it, you suffer the consequences. I disagree with the law, but that is not the point.
I admire her courage of conviction, but legally she cannot win. If she is allowed to disregard law, who shall decide what laws will and will not be obeyed?
Peaceful disobedience does not preclude consequences.
****However, when it is the law of the land****
Since when does the Supreme Court write law. Are you really that ignorant of the constitution of America?
There are entirely too many ignorant people posting on this subject. The education system in this country has failed the people by not correctly teaching how America’s government is set up.
People and entities bring cases against people and entities. Some of these cases rise to the SCOTUS.
The rulings in these cases are law until they are sometimes changed.
I think it’s you that doesn’t understand the process.
***The rulings in these cases are law until they are sometimes changed.***
The Supreme Court CANNOT WRITE LAW! They offer opinions on the Constitutionality of law. They have voided the marriage laws of all the states whose laws do not comport with the opinion of the court that due to the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment, not allowing SSM in all states is unconstitutional.
Kentucky is one such state that now has no valid marriage laws until the legislature convenes and addresses the issue.
I am of the opinion that the Supreme Court overstepped its bounds by using the 14th amendment incorrectly.
I agree that they may have overstepped, but they do have final say.
***I agree that they may have overstepped, but they do have final say.***
Actually the Supreme Court has overturned itself many times. State legislatures can also amend the Constitution if 3/4 are in concurrence.
